Including bullet points and understanding how to arrange them in Google Docs are essential if you want to make your document more technical and simpler to understand for your readers. While standard bullet points in Google Docs will help you make your point, you can also make custom bullet points to really elevate your writing.
You can use a bullet list to generate a list of items when the order is irrelevant. You can deviate from the generic dots with anything special depending on the kind of Google Docs page you’re generating.
In this post, we will be looking at how you can create custom bullet point for your documents.
